Intersection improvement alternatives were developed and presented to stake holders such the Montecito Area Residents Association (MARA), Whole Foods, and Montecito Shopping Center representatives, as well as many public hearings pertaining to General Plan 2020, and private developments such as Village at Lock Lomond Marina over a period of four years and a preferred alternative was selected.
